Shane Biggs is a Bulldog

[ratsmac]

Agreed.

He makes a few mistakes with his disposal, but he works really hard at it afterwards, really composed and a great addition to the team, has been great for us and a very astute pickup considering Sydney's ancient backline.

It's puzzling that they let him go isn't. Especially losing malcheski. Same goes for Hamling. Geelong let him go and they are also will be in need for a tall defender with their ancient backline.
Kudos to our recruiter's!

Didn't both clubs want to rookie list them again? Seems Macca watched them closer than their coaches and judged them better.

He has had a good month, however I am still nervous when he has the ball in his hands. I like his attitude and willingness to work both ways and his run is a great "out" from defensive 50. Like Talia, if the forwards and mids work hard to get into space when he has the footy, it takes a bit of pressure off his need to "pin-point" his disposal of the footy, which in turn, helps with his disposal of the footy.

You can thank the Bondi Billionaires for this - players have been squeezed out to fit them into the salary cap.

Yep. It's a shame for them one of the BB is more like Christopher Skase than Bill Gates. Tippett should get Majorka before fraud charges over millions are laid.

The Billionaires have just realised how Donald ducked they are with those huge contracts and are now flailing about trying to deflect blame. Collis having a go at Fitzpatrick last week was comical. Look at your clubs actions before you go trying to deflect blame mr President.

If the AFL bail Sydney out if this tgat will be it for me. No more AFL.

I'm less so.
He rarely goes the safe option - in some cases he's too brave with his disposal - but his teammates certainly aren't scared to put the ball in his hands in tight situations. He'll be ok, we've found one here and he cost us nothing.

[bulldogtragic]

Great goal of his too. If he always kicks that straight he has a licence to roam forward.

[bornadog]

I had my doubts on Biggs, but his last few weeks have been sensational.

[Ozza]

Loved that he kicked his first goal. Enjoyed seeing the players get around him. Love seeing those showings of enjoying a team mates' successes.

[Axe Man]

In addition to the observations above I have also enjoyed his ability to compete in the air against taller opponents. Reminds me a bit of Gilbee in the that regard. I was surprised to see him listed at 187cm, looks smaller on the field.

He's actually a very good distributor by foot - most players make a couple of errors by foot per game, but for the most part Biggs is able to hit both pressure kicks and open play kicks.

One thing players need to understand is that Biggs prefers the 20-35m pass, which means most of the time he requires his team mates to present to the ball and not lead backwards - one of his turnovers was due to a misunderstanding of this, think it may have been Jong, who was looking for it over the top whereas Biggs wanted him to present to the ball. As it was, Biggs ended up fixing the mistake by spoiling the Melbourne player a few moments later.

I'm impressed - he's a good player and very assured for a 12 gamer.

Love your posts BDtragic, keep em' comin.

[Ghost Dog]

I love him because Sydney fans were disappointed to lose him. Suffer in yer' red and white jocks.

Biggs and Hunter have been major reasons for our current form. And they came out of nowhere, two players on fringe who have seized their opportunity and not only held their own but contributed significantly to an improved team performance. They both win a lot of possessions and both have been good with the distribution, helping in no small way to our current tag as the most attacking team in the comp.
